of the bitcode reader and ASM parser APIs, as well as supporting it in all of the tools.
Patches for Clang and LLVM-GCC to follow.

and clean recursive descent parser.
This change has a couple of ramifications:
1. The parser code is about 400 lines shorter (in what we maintain, not
including what is autogenerated).
2. The code should be significantly faster than the old code because we
don't have to work around bison's poor handling of datatypes with
ctors/dtors. This also makes the code much more resistant to memory
leaks.
3. We now get caret diagnostics from the .ll parser, woo.
4. The actual diagnostics emited from the parser are completely different
so a bunch of testcases had to be updated.
5. I now disallow "%ty = type opaque %ty = type i32". There was no good
reason to support this, it was just an accident of the old
implementation. I have no reason to think that anyone is actually using
this.
6. The syntax for sticking a global variable has changed to make it
unambiguous. I don't think anyone is depending on this since only clang
supports this and it is not solid yet, so I'm not worried about anything
breaking.
7. This gets rid of the last use of bison, and along with it the .cvs files.
I'll prune this from the makefiles as a subsequent commit.
There are a few minor cleanups that can be done after this commit (suggestions
welcome!) but this passes dejagnu testing and is ready for its time in the
limelight.

Rid the Assembly Parser of exceptions. This is a really gross hack but it
will do until the Assembly Parser is re-written as a recursive descent.
The basic premise is that wherever the old "ThrowException" function was
called (new name: GenerateError) we set a flag (TriggerError). Every
production checks that flag and calls YYERROR if it is set. Additionally,
each call to ThrowException in the grammar is replaced with GEN_ERROR
which calls GenerateError and then YYERROR immediately. This prevents
the remaining production from continuing after an error condition.
